World’s First Traffic Light Installed 101 Years Ago Today

The average driver will spend two whole weeks of their life just waiting at traffic lights. But despite the minor inconvenience, can you imagine how chaotic the roads would be without them? Today is the 101st anniversary of the installation of the very first traffic light–something that changed driving forever.

The very first electric traffic signal was installed on this day in 1914, in Cleveland Ohio, at the corner of 105th and Euclid. It transformed traffic flow for decades to come, and probably saved the lives of countless policemen who would otherwise have remained the sole traffic conductors.

DISMISS YOUR TICKET OR WE PAY IT UP TO $250

We're so confident that you can dismiss your ticket with our service that we'll give you up to $250 if you don't.

What do we mean by 'up to' ?

We've been doing this a long time (since 2000 to be exact), so we know your ticket will be dismissed. But, in the unlikely event that it isn't, we'd like to contribute some cash toward it, up to a value of $250.
Basically, if your ticket is $250 or less, we'll give you the full value of your ticket, if it's more than that, we'll give you $250.
It's really that simple.
